This will lead to the majority of the state getting full say and suppressing minority views. This can be political, racial, etc.

California has a large Republican population. If it goes state wide they get zero voice as the full state will go blue.

These days I’m kinda fine with that, but in principle this is wrong. The same suppression logic can be spread to ethnic groups, etc.

A Ukraine? Really? Why couldn’t you use something practical like a university.
